And the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
Son
of man,
prophesy
against the shepherds
of Israel,
prophesy,
and say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
unto the shepherds;
Woe
be to the shepherds
of Israel
that do feed
themselves! should not the shepherds
feed
the flocks?
say
Ye eat
the fat,
and ye clothe
you with the wool,
ye kill
them that are fed:
but ye feed
not the flock.
The diseased
have ye not strengthened,
neither have ye healed
that which was sick,
neither have ye bound up
that which was broken,
neither have ye brought again
that which was driven away,
neither have ye sought
that which was lost;
but with force
and with cruelty
have ye ruled
them.

And they were scattered,
because there is no shepherd:
and they became meat
to all the beasts
of the field,
when they were scattered.
My sheep
wandered
through all the mountains,
and upon every high
hill:
yea, my flock
was scattered
upon all the face
of the earth,
and none did search
or seek
after them.
Therefore, ye shepherds,
hear
the word
of the LORD;
As I live,
saith
the Lord
GOD,
surely because my flock
became a prey,
and my flock
became meat
to every beast
of the field,
because there was no shepherd,
neither did my shepherds
search
for my flock,
but the shepherds
fed
themselves, and fed
not my flock;

Therefore, O ye shepherds,
hear
the word
of the LORD;
Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Behold, I am against the shepherds;
and I will require
my flock
at their hand,
and cause them to cease
from feeding
the flock;
neither shall the shepherds
feed
themselves any more; for I will deliver
my flock
from their mouth,
that they may not be meat
for them.

For thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Behold, I, even I, will both search
my sheep,
and seek them out.
As a shepherd
seeketh out
his flock
in the day
that he is among
his sheep
that are scattered;
so will I seek out
my sheep,
and will deliver
them out of all places
where they have been scattered
in the cloudy
and dark
day.
And I will bring them out
from the people,
and gather
them from the countries,
and will bring
them to their own land,
and feed
them upon the mountains
of Israel
by the rivers,
and in all the inhabited places
of the country.
I will feed
them in a good
pasture,
and upon the high
mountains
of Israel
shall their fold
be: there shall they lie
in a good
fold,
and in a fat
pasture
shall they feed
upon the mountains
of Israel.

I will feed
my flock,
and I will cause them to lie down,
saith
the Lord
GOD.
I will seek
that which was lost,
and bring again
that which was driven away,
and will bind up
that which was broken,
and will strengthen
that which was sick:
but I will destroy
the fat
and the strong;
I will feed
them with judgment.
And as for you,
O my flock,
thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Behold, I judge
between cattle
and cattle,
between the rams
and the he goats.
Seemeth it a small thing
unto you to have eaten up
the good
pasture,
but ye must tread down
with your feet
the residue
of your pastures?
and to have drunk
of the deep
waters,
but ye must foul
the residue
with your feet?

And as for my flock,
they eat
that which ye have trodden
with your feet;
and they drink
that which ye have fouled
with your feet.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord
GOD
unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge
between the fat
cattle
and between the lean
cattle.
Because ye have thrust
with side
and with shoulder,
and pushed
all the diseased
with your horns,
till ye have scattered
them abroad;
Therefore will I save
my flock,
and they shall no more be a prey;
and I will judge
between cattle
and cattle.
And I will set up
one
shepherd
over them, and he shall feed
them, even my servant
David;
he shall feed
them, and he shall be their shepherd.
And I the LORD
will be their God,
and my servant
David
a prince
among
them; I the LORD
have spoken
it.
And I will make
with them a covenant
of peace,
and will cause the evil
beasts
to cease
out of the land:
and they shall dwell
safely
in the wilderness,
and sleep
in the woods.

And I will make
them and the places round about
my hill

and I will cause the shower
to come down

there shall be showers
of blessing.
And the tree
of the field
shall yield
her fruit,
and the earth
shall yield
her increase,
and they shall be safe
in their land,
and shall know
that I am the LORD,
when I have broken
the bands
of their yoke,
and delivered
them out of the hand
of those that served
themselves of them.

And they shall no more be a prey

my flock,

the Lord
GOD.
